Beauty Lecture: The Loving Rose Water

The rose itself is an ultimate symbol of beauty and love. Its enchanting aroma and numerous health and beauty benefits have been loved for over a 1000 years and certainly centuries to come. Today for Mingming's beauty lesson #1, I will show you guys a portion of the countless benefits of rose water, which can be found at your local farmer's market, whole foods store, or beauty supplies store.


Skin: Rose water is great for all skin types and used in various facial serums and creams. Cleopatra, famous for her secret beauty tricks, used rose water in numerous facials for its wide range of benefits.


  • Rose water can be combined with facial serum ~ for restoration and maintenance of skin's pH balance
  • Use for skin irritation/acne ~ excellent antiseptic 
  • Sooth insect bite or sunburn ~ healing and soothing properties
  • BEST toner ever! ~ bring life and glow to dull and damaged skin
  • Apply rose water after steaming ~ tightens capillaries, reduces redness and blotchiness
  • Excellent cleanserrefresh your skin and take away adhering dust and dirt accumulated in clogged pores
  • Prevent aging and acne ~ rich in anti-oxidants and anti-bacterial properties
Dry Skin: hydrates skin
Oily Skin: balances the oil contents and tones the skin

Hair: Rose water improves blood circulation and promotes hair growth. It can be used as a conditioner as it revitalizes the hair. It helps controlling dandruff and inflammation. It boosts the scalp and health of the hair, and makes them strong and flexible with minimum breakage.

Mingming's Favorites: 
Personally, I am a huge fan of roses. So of course I fell in love with rose water after learning about its endless benefits. My favorite way to use rose water by putting it in a small spray by bottle. Throughout the day you would certainly find me spraying it on my face, in my hair, on my body, cloth, bed sheets, etc.

Hope you guys enjoy this post!
